A few separate points to make: Due to design there will always be play in a pintle setup. If you are using mis matched lunette eye and pintle hook then the play is going to be even greater. Not all pintles are set up to swivel. Static pintles have binding issues as they approach 45' Yes you...

The multi-axis MAX coupler recently went through DOT testing and is now certified as a Class III coupler rated at 6000 lbs. The basic appearance of the coupler remains unchanged, the only changes are structural with the yoke on the vehicle side being thicker. The new Max coupler offers...

Noise is one of the issues, and probably the most annoying, but the pintle does not offer a solid connection between the vehicle and the trailer, can cause sway, and unless you have a rotational set up only offers 45' of movement.

The pintle offers organizations such as the military and especially NATO the standardization needed to have trailers that are interchangeable between vehicles of different types and different nations. NATO has specific regulations of couplers and has an officially recognized NATO pintle. The...

Lets see if we can source them elsewhere. It would be easier on all of us. As I've said before, they are great people, make a great product, but are a little disorganized.

Good find. A couple of things I would do, if you haven't already. Use some good quality automotive bulb seal to seal between the shell and the top of the rail. With the top opened up inspect where the torsion arms go back into the shell. There shouldn't be any gap between the silicon and the...

Some people are using Suzuki Samurai springs or CJ7 springs

Washoe County, Reno area, has diesel smog. It depends on the county you live in.

That's an interesting statement. Which ones do you believe are owned by ARB?

As CruiserOutfitter said ARB is a good company to work with, so don't give up hope. I think a quick call to their service center will sort things out.

Diesels do pollute that's for sure, a Google search for "Diesel Pollution" will provide a wealth of information. One of the top rates summaries says "diesel pollution contains more than 40 “air toxics” including carcinogens and fine particulate matter", and if you delve further you...

I don't have a problem with the smog check. Although I own a diesel I hate the clouds of black smoke that issue from some trucks. I am left scratching my head a little that this check is only for vehicles under 14,000 lbs. Is there something else for the big rigs?

I got my registration renewal for my truck today and it included a notice that the truck needed a smog check. Double take, this is a diesel truck, there is no smog check on diesels in California. I started to think about how I was going to get this sorted out with the DMV and did some internet...

We will never charge by the pound......... we'll charge by the kilogram

OK, here is the formula for building an Australian trailer with all the attributes that people have said they don't want, i.e. size and weight. A king size bed at 73" wide. So the overall trailer width is going to be at a minimum 75". So out the window goes any sort of maneuverability. Now...

If we decrease the weight can we increase the price? :sombrero:

The mesh on the windows is extremely fine weave. If you are having problems with no seeums spray the net with "Skin so soft". Part of the issue may be the area around the tailgate and rear window. We are working on a rear mozi net to cover the back entrance to the AT FlipPac

Sort of, the grass is always greener thing. We get inquires from Australia about our products, smaller, light weight, maneuverable. We are looking at doing something in Australia like we did in Europe, where we license our technology for local production.

Well it looks like I need to up my shipping quotes to be competitive with these guys :sombrero:

Scott You have to realize that the AT FlipPac is not the same as the shells produced by Flippac. Our shells are specifically designed for off-road use. We analyzed how FlipPac was making their shells and had them make our shells to our specifications. Part of the confusion on the differences...
